Can you do handstands?
 
Incase you aren't aware, handstands are standing upside down on your hands for a brief to extended period of time.

I used to be able to as a kid but not sure whether I can now.

Inspired by supporter DCC's backflip discussion

I used to be able to do them until I sprained my hand. Lol
Couldn't do it now though, I have some weird unknown condition O_o

poopnoodle October 18th, 2009 1:07 AM

I can, but not gracefully. I've never been the gymnast type. o3o

Does doing a handstand in a pool count? :B

No, I don't think I've ever been nimble enough to do something like that.

I've been doing Gymnastics in P.E. I suck hard. But then in swimming I rock. So I can handstand in the pool. :3

In a pool, yus. On a trampoline, yus. On the floor resting on the wall, yus. On the ground, nup.

:)

Cheesymitten October 18th, 2009 2:16 AM

I have tried and failed,
And i really don't want to do it again =(
I kept trying all the time when i was 11. It was fun.
Seeing as i thought that i had done it X.X

I try but I don't really succeed. My P.E teacher hates me, because I really can't do anything gymnastical. I hit my head once while trying a handstand and have been sorta scared to do one since.

olearye273 October 18th, 2009 6:35 AM

i can do one but only for like... 30 seconds max :)

Captain Fabio October 18th, 2009 6:48 AM

I can yes.
But very badly. Haha.

I actually haven't tried in a long time.

Azonic October 18th, 2009 7:01 AM

I can only do handstands if someone holds me up lol. I can't really.

Cold Fusion October 18th, 2009 7:02 AM

Nope, never have been able too...I tried...but failed a lot of times when I was 9....

Caelus October 18th, 2009 8:42 AM

I can do it only in the pool.
Outside of that I can't. D:

Guy October 18th, 2009 8:57 AM

A few years back I was able to do a handstand, while using the wall next to me as support. If I were to do a handstand without support of a wall, then I would only last standing a couple seconds while taking a step or two with my hands. Though, I haven't tried in quite some time, so I don't know if I still have the ability to do a handstand on ground. As for a pool handstand, I can do that one quite easily, but looking above it seems many others can as well.

jupotatoes October 18th, 2009 9:06 AM

I actually can walk doing handstands, took capoeira classes when I was a kid. Oddly, I don't have the balance to do kartwheels...

Sushi. October 18th, 2009 3:15 PM

In the ground?
Used to.
In the pool?
No.

I used to be good at it a few years ago. :/

mikey October 18th, 2009 3:17 PM

Haha, no way.

Actually, I can in the pool xD

aurevesque October 18th, 2009 4:52 PM

yes, i was in gymnastics when i was little. the pool is easy, because there's no gravity or whatver.
teaching someone how to do one, is a totally different matter however.

Blue_Drifblim October 18th, 2009 5:57 PM

I can do a handstand, but only for like, five seconds. XD

Rokusasu October 18th, 2009 6:43 PM

Yeah, I can do one without support and walk on my hands but I have a few balance issues so I don't stay up for long. :3 I'm much better at headstands.

derozio October 19th, 2009 4:01 AM

To be totally honest, I have never been able to do handstands. X_X

♣Gawain♣ October 19th, 2009 4:18 AM

Nope. My arms are too weak to to that.

Alistair October 19th, 2009 5:32 AM

I can. I even used to do handstands on skateboards. Well, I stopped when I almost broke my neck. >.< I can still do them on the ground, though.
